The BarberS of Persia.

A Persian barber IS ID style that is very different from that of tons orial practitioners in this country. A typical shop, described by travel Ter, was square room with ono side open on the street. In the centre was tiny bed of flowers sunk in the floor from the middle of which rose an oc.agonal stone column yard high. The capital the column formed re- ccptacle for the water in which the bar Der dipped his hand as he shaved his customers scalp-;n Persia they do not father. On the carthen platform outside the shop sat Luriy man whose long beard was being dyed m orange color. It was full of yellow mu Qhe henna in pastel and bound up with cabbage leaves to prevent too rapid evaporation. The shop was very clean. ca two re- cesses were displayed four vases filled with flowers, and the implements of the barb,r's art--scssors, razors, lancets, hand-mirrors, large pncers to extract teeth. branding-irons to cauterizc the arteries in amputating limbs, strong combs, but not hair brush, for that inn ! plcment is never used by Persians. From the bartcr's girdle hung round copper water bottle. his strap, and pouch to | hold his instruments. In his bosom was a small mirror, the presentation of which to customer is sign that the job is finished and that the barber waits fol his ply. The barber slaves the heads ol his customers, dyes their boards, pulls their teeth, cups and blceds them whea ailing, sets their broken boneS and shampoos their bodies.
